People always think that when Shah Rukh talks about his awards and medals that he's being obnoxiously arrogant about his achievements. They simply refuse to believe that his enthusiasm towards those shiny stuff is simply childlike exuberance at winning something.
Maybe they've all forgotten how it's like to win awards when they were 8-years old. Or maybe they've never won anything major at school, at sports or at life. Flip through Shah Rukh's biography and you will see that he's always won at something from way back in high school.
Be it academic or sports, this guy simply loves to win awards, medals and accolades. Being a non-sporty person, I'm still in awe of the fact that he was the captain of hockey, cricket and soccer of his school. Oh, and best student too.
They can be scathing and cynical all they want, but just because they don't have the same drive to excel, it's a crime to expect and force everyone else to be as mediocre as they've turned out to be when they've grown up.
I like Shah Rukh's enthusiasm, and even though I'm not as 'hungry' for life as he is, it's a great balm for the spirit to witness someone like that in real time. I'm so glad he's a living legend, instead of a dead one I can only read in biographical/autobiographical books. I hope he stays awesome for a long time to come.
